    After pratikraman till what time can I drink water, I took tivihar oachkhan

    Answer

    If you took Tivihar pachchhāṇ after Pratikraman, you may drink water only until the time limit included in that pachchhāṇ.

    In common Jain practice, Tivihar means:

    • No food
    • No other drinks
    • No mukhvas/snacks, etc.
    • Only water is allowed

    Usually, for night pachchhāṇ, water is taken only up to the allowed time before nightfall, according to the pachchhāṇ and local practice.

    Explanation

    The exact cutoff depends on what pachchhāṇ was spoken, for example:

    • Chauvihar — no food or water
    • Tivihar — food is stopped, but water may be allowed up to the prescribed time
    • Duvidh / Ekasan / Biyasan pachchhāṇ — rules differ by vow

    If you said “Tivihar karuṁ chhuṁ” for the night, then normally you should not eat anything, and water is allowed only as per the time condition of that pachchhāṇ.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Pachchhāṇ is a vow of restraint. The main spirit is to remain careful, honest, and disciplined. If there is confusion, it is best not to stretch the rule according to convenience.

    Takeaway

    Please follow the exact words of the pachchhāṇ you took. If you are unsure, ask your local Jain guru, sādhvījī/sādhujī, or knowledgeable elder, because timing can vary by tradition and local sunset/nightfall calculation.
